This bug was caused by having my Guix filesystem mounted on a 
case-insensitive file system. Re-running pull within the Docker 
container mounted on a case-sensitive file system works correctly.

This bug can be closed. Sorry for the noise.

Not sure how a case-insensitivity would cause this, but I think we
can keep this open -- wouldn't it be better if "guix-daemon" just says
‘nope, case-sensitivity is required (*), not continuing)?

(*) For reproducible builds, and apparently for substitution.

Greetings,
Maxime
